I hope you all have enjoyed your June and July :-) This is the quiet time of year on the SignWriting List. As soon as the school year begins in late-August (in the schools in the northern hemisphere), the messages start flowing! So I have been working behind the scenes, preparing for the wonderful school year ahead of us. This is an exciting time right now...lots of new developments to share with you. I am waiting for mid-August, when I know the teachers are returning from their summer vacations. I would like to welcome several new members to the SW List. I hope you will introduce yourselves. We would love to get to know you. In fact, perhaps some of the long-time members would like to re-introduce yourselves too? - It is always interesting to hear about your work and why you are using, or are interested in SignWriting. And thank you, Dawn, for your two great messages. I am very happy to hear how much SignWriting has meant to you and your family. Your documented feedback is very important for other teachers. We are all learning together. Dr. Karen van Hoek, a linguist skilled in SignWriting, once told me that using SignWriting to teach Deaf students math and science would be a great tool...and it seems like you are already experimenting with this, Dawn. I think this is great! We would love to hear how it goes. Maybe you can send me some examples of the lessons you have prepared in math written in SignWriting? I could then place the diagrams on your web page, to show others the lessons you have prepared. I believe Ingvild Roald, in Norway, taught science to her Deaf students, using SignWriting, and perhaps math? I am not sure.... In regards to the SignWriter Computer Program, you can download the SignWriter Shareware right now from our web site: Download SignWriter Shareware version 4.3 for MS-DOS https://www.SignWriting.org/sw128.html The shareware is complete for ASL only. It contains all the Lessons and the 3000 ASL sign dictionary. So it is available to anyone free of charge anytime! Write again if you have questions about using the shareware - Many blessings - Valerie :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton SignWriting Web Site https://www.SignWriting.org Post messages to the SignWriting List SignWriting List Archives https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The DAC Deaf Action Committee for SignWriting Center For Sutton Movement Writing an educational nonprofit organization PO.
